AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Presentation of the 2022 Ukiah Leadership Academy Graduates.
DEPARTMENT: City Clerk PREPARED BY: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk PRESENTER: Sage Sangiacomo, City Manager
ATTACHMENTS:
1. 2022 Ukiah Leadership Academy
Summary: Fourteen City of Ukiah team members have completed the third Ukiah Leadership Academy and will receive Certificates of Completion.
Background: The City Manager is pleased to announce the completion of the 2022 Ukiah Leadership Academy. This innovative program was developed in 2017 as a result of input on the employee satisfaction surveys and to help address the need for succession planning.
Over the course of this year, 14 participants from various departments have attended monthly sessions, culminating in the presentation of their “class project” in the City Council Chambers.
While all City employees have opportunities for technical training related to their specific positions, it can be difficult to obtain the “soft skills” associated with a leadership position. This program seeks to provide that.
Attendees heard firsthand from upper management in the organization about topics like navigating communication with the community, the media and the elected officials, leading vs. managing, and more.
The Academy allows the City to develop talent internally and provide additional opportunities for advancement to those team members who have already invested in the agency. It will improve communication between departments and, ultimately, the City’s service to the community.
Each session was held at a different City facility and included a tour of that location. “Homework” projects included practicing agenda summary reports. Each participant selected a topic that would make City operations more efficient in some way, researched that topic, and developed an agenda summary report and a presentation around it. Strong work was done by these team members, and some of these projects may result in actual presentations to Council in the future.
Discussion: The 2022 participants were:
Donald Tubbs, Environmental Lab Technician I
Jason Benson, Senior Civil Engineer
Tom Corning, Patrol Lieutenant
Nick Kirby, Water/Sewer Leadworker
Olga Keough, Finance Controller
Ryan Kriken, Lead Waste Water Treatment Plant Operator
John Corippo, Fire Captain
Sonu Upadhyay, Senior Power Engineer
Steven Oropeza, Senior Building Inspector
Marianne Davison, Senior Recreation Coordinator
Tiffany Breece, Dispatch Supervisor
Tim Mitchell, Senior HR/Management Analyst

Utilities participating in the LCFS program, including Ukiah, are required to enter into the CFR Governance Agreement before December 31, 2022, and comply with the CFR Program's regulatory requirements. Additionally, as a participating electrical utility, Ukiah is required to deposit $5,125, which is Ukiah's pro rata share of funding, to provide initial rebates for the program by January 31, 2023. The funds will come from the sale of Ukiah Electric's LCFS credits.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) developed the LCFS program in compliance with AB 32 (the Global WarmingSolutions Act of 2006) to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels used in California by 10% by 2020 and 20% by 2030. Under the LCFS program, providers of alternate fuels generate credits that can be sold to producers of traditional fossil fuels, helping those entities meet AB32 emission reduction requirements. Electric Utilities that provide electricity to charge EVs, as Ukiah does, are eligible to receive LCFS credits based on the number of EVs in their service territory.
As a small utility, the CFR Governance Agreement requires Ukiah to contribute 2% per year of its LCFS program funds to the CFR program to fund EV rebates starting in 2023.
Discussion: In September 2018, CARB adopted amendments to the LCFS regulation creating a new statewide, electric utility run point of purchase vehicle purchase CFR program funded exclusively by LCFS credit revenue. CARB instituted these regulatory amendments to accelerate electric vehicle adoption in an effort to support the state's greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. Utilities, automakers, CARB and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) engaged in a collaborative process to implement the regulation by developing a statewide point of purchase reward program with the goals of achieving equity for all electric vehicle customers and making it seamless for customers to claim the rebate. Ukiah was represented by
NCPA in this process. The CPUC authorized Southern California Edison (SCE) to serve as the initial, shortterm administrator for the CFR program, and directed the CFR Steering Committee and CARB to engage a longer-term replacement administrator. Participation requires the execution of the Participating Electric Distribution Utility joinder (Attachment 2).
In 2022, the CFR program was paused; however, it is anticipated that CARB will restart the program in 2023. If the program is not restarted, the monies will be directed back to the funding utilities. Despite the pause in the program, utilities are still required to deposit the initial pro rata share in order to continue to participate in the LCFS program. Proceeds from the sale of the LCFS credits will help fund projects that promote GHG reduction. An additional requirement of the regulation is that 30% of credits must be set aside and used for equity programs and projects.
Staff recommends adopting Resolution (Attachment 3) approving the City's participation in the States Clean Fuel Reward Program, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the participating Electric Utility Joinder; and approve Northern California Power Agency as the City's authorized initial representative on the Clean Fuel Reward Program Steering Committee.
Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution approving the City's participation in the State's Clean Fuel Reward Program and authorizing the City Manager to execute the participating Electric Utility Joinder to the Clean Fuel Reward Program Governance Agreement; and approve Northern California Power Agency as the City's authorized initial representative on the Clean Fuel Reward Program Steering Committee.

Agenda Item No: 7.b.
MEETING DATE/TIME: 11/2/2022
ITEM NO: 2022-2119
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Authorization for the City Manager to Execute a Construction Administration Services Agreement with Mead and Hunt, Inc. for Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2 Construction Continguent on Approval from the FAA, and Approve Corresponding Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Airport PREPARED BY: Greg Owen, Airport Manager PRESENTER: Greg Owen
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Mead & Hunt Contract
2. Independent Fee Estimate
Summary: The FAA has awarded the Airport with a construction grant for the Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2 project to complete the runway 15-33 width reduction from 150 Feet to 75 Feet; and install new lighting (Construction). Mead and Hunt, Inc. has submitted a contract to provide construction administration services. Therefore, Staff is seeking for Council to consider authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Administration Services Agreement for this project.
Background: On April 14, 2022, the project - Runway 15-33 width reduction from 150 feet to 75 feet; and install new LED MIRLS (Medium Intensity Runway Lighting System), Runway Threshold Lights (Remove and Install New), a New Runway 15 LED REIL (Runway End Identifier Lights), New Runway 33 LED REIL Installation, and a New LED PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) - was solicited for competitive bids, with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder being Royal Electric, with a bid amount of $2,222,222.00.
The FAA funding is 90% of the total project cost, which is $2,713,255.79 (Royal Electric $2,222,222; Project Administration and Inspection expense $242,246.90; and Independent Fee Estimate (IFE) $2,340, plus a 10% contingency in the amount of $246,446.89 for construction and project management). Caltrans grant match of 5%, is $112,926.
The balance of the funds, or $158,399.58, will be funded from the Airport Fund.
The timing of this project is a concern that Staff has grappled with, since the Airport is open every day year round. However, due to construction requirements and FAA funding for this project, the runway may be closed during fire season, causing Cal Fire to relocate for several weeks. Cal Fire air tankers will be relocated to the next closest bases, Santa Rosa and Chico, which are between 15-25 minutes away by air. Cal Fire supports this project, and Staff has been working with Cal Fire on the projected runway closures. Helicopter access will not be impacted by the project, even during construction. Staff will continue to work with the contractor to limit the impact on Cal Fire and other airport users.
Discussion: Staff is requesting that the City Manager be authorized to execute the construction administration services agreement (Attachment 1) with Mead and Hunt, Inc. for Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2. As part of the grant process, an independent fee estimate (IFE) is required from a separate consulting firm. Staff requested Independent Fee Estimates to perform the required review of this project.
The IFE Spreadsheet is provided as Attachment 2. Staff has found that the Mead and Hunt, Inc. total project
costs are higher than the independent fee estimate. Staff has discussed this with Mead and Hunt, Inc. and have determined that the independent fee estimate was lower due to the assumption that only staff from the Sonoma County office would be working on this project. Due to the specialized nature of FAA projects, Mead and Hunt, Inc. will be required to bring in staff from other offices. The cost of Mead and Hunt, Inc.'s contract is included in the total cost of the grant.
Project Administration and Inspection Grant Estimate: $242,246.90 Independent Fee Estimate Project Cost: $133,391.75 (Attachment 2 Independent Fee Estimate (IFE) Mead and Hunt, Inc.'s Total Project Cost:$242,246.90
Staff will be reviewing the cost difference with the FAA prior to executing the agreement with Mead and Hunt, Inc. Thus, staff is requesting City Manager authorization to execute the contract with Mead and Hunt, Inc. contingent on approval from the FAA.
As part of the recommended action, a budget adjustment for the whole project needs to be approved, to align the budget with known costs to date.
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Construction Administration Services Agreement with Mead and Hunt Inc. for Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2 Construction contingent upon the FAA's approval of costs, and approve corresponding budget amendment.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of a Budget Amendment for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) Supplies and Maintenance Accounts.
DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Jessie Brunell, Senior Accountant PRESENTER: Dan Buffalo, Finance Director
ATTACHMENTS:
None
Summary: Council will consider approving amending the budget for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) building maintenance and supplies accounts.
Background: Furniture purchases and maintenance activities at the North Fire Station located on Lovers Lane were budgeted and intended to be incurred in the prior fiscal year, but were delayed at year-end. Those costs were instead incurred in the current fiscal year, requiring a subsequent budget adjustment.
Discussion: Staff recommends that the City Council approve a budget amendment in the amount of $7,715 for the UVFA building and maintenance account needed to address planned but delayed general maintenance activities at the station and $3,100 for the Ambulance supplies account for new furniture to accommodate recently hired personnel.
Recommended Action: Approve amending the budget for an increase of $7,715 for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) building maintenance account and $3,100 for the Ambulance supplies account for residual expenditures meant to be incurred in FY 2021-22.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: Yes.

SUBJECT: Review Landfill Closure Financial Plan Update.
DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Dan Buffalo, Finance Director PRESENTER: Consent Calendar
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution No. 2016-03 - Establishing Funding Closure-Ukiah Solid Waste Disposal
2. Signed Landfill Inflation Form
Summary: The City Council will receive an update on the Financial Plan of 2016 to finance closure, postclosure, and a corrective action plan of the Ukiah Landfill.
Background: The City Council, at its regularly scheduled meeting of January 6, 2016, considered a strategy to provide funding for the ultimate closure, post closure, and Corrective Action Plan (CAP) reserve of the Ukiah Landfill. The strategy was memorialized in the City Council Resolution No. 2016-03 (Attachment 1). The Resolution directs the Finance Director to present to Council, for consideration annually, the condition of the financial plan, with any recommended adjustments.
Discussion: Costs to conduct closure, post-closure, and prepare a corrective action plan have been adjusted by an inflationary index provided by CalRecycle. For 2022 the estimated cost with an assumed inflationary adjustment of 4.1 percent from 2021 is $20,539,939. The change in cost is due to the annual inflation factor provided by CalRecycle. The Finance Department, in coordination with Public Works and the City Manager's Office, continues to revise the City's financing strategy to meet this obligation in full, using a combination of reserves and cash inflows from surcharges collected at the transfer station.
Detail of the calculation and the breakdown by the various categories of closure are included in Attachment 2.
Recommended Action: Receive and file update to the Landfill Closure Financial Plan.

1 RESOLUTION NO. 2016- 03
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH ESTABLISHING
FINANCIAL MECHANISM FOR FUNDING CLOSURE, POST - CLOSURE MAINTENANCE,
AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR CITY OF UKIAH SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL SITE WHEREAS:
1. The City of Ukiah solid waste disposal site ( "Landfill ") located at 3100 Vichy Springs Road, Mendocino County Assessor Parcel No. 178- 130 -01), consisting of a landfill footprint of approximately 40 acres, ceased operations and accepting solid waste in September 2001; and
2. Since September 2001, the City has maintained the Landfill, including monitoring wells surrounding the perimeter of the property and a leachate collection system that captures and disposes of leachate through the City' s sewer system; and
3. Under applicable provisions of the California Public Resources Code and in Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations ( "CCR "), the City is required to adopt a plan for the closure, post - closure maintenance, and corrective actions required for the Landfill; and
4. Pursuant to 27 CCR 21180( a), the City must provide post - closure maintenance and a corrective action plan reserve ( "CAP ") for a thirty -year period after closure; and
5. The cash collected by the City to provide for Closure, Post - Closure Maintenance, and the CAP reserve are reflected in the City' s financial statements as a net position of the disposal site proprietary fund; and
6. The City is scheduled to complete the closure of the landfill ( "Closure ") in accordance with its approved closure plan in 2016; and
7. Recently, new and more costly regulatory requirements relating to Closure have been imposed by the California state agencies with jurisdiction over the Closure. These additional requirements, including installation of a methane gas collection system, would have been imposed, even if the Closure had occurred prior to the imposition of these new requirements; and
8. The most recent engineer's estimates for Closure, including the gas collection system and other additional requirements, indicate that the net proprietary fund for the Landfill is not sufficient to cover all of the costs of Closure, Post - Closure Maintenance, and to establish a CAP reserve; and
9. The City must provide the funding for Closure, Post - Closure Maintenance, and the CAP reserve; and
10. On January 1, 2017, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Transfer Station Agreement Transfer Station Agreement ") between the City of Ukiah and Solid Waste Systems, Inc.
SWS "), dated December 12, 2011, the City is entitled to acquire legal title to the Transfer Station (Transfer Station) located at 3151 Taylor Drive, Ukiah, California, and the City and SWS are obligated to enter a lease under which SWS will continue to operate the transfer station and pay rent ( "Transfer Station Rent ") to the City for the use of the Transfer Station; and 1
10. Dedicating Transfer Station Rent to fund Closure, Post - Closure Maintenance, and the Cap Reserve as further provided herein will provide a source of revenue to fund those obligations which exceed the disposal site proprietary fund; and
11. Commencing on January 1, 2012, the City adopted a City Surcharge on the Gate Fee at the Transfer Station ( " Surcharge ") to provide a source of revenue in the Landfill /Solid Waste Enterprise Fund for Closure and Post - Closure Maintenance, and the CAP reserve. The Surcharge is currently $ 2. 00 per ton of Solid Waste received at the Transfer Station. The Surcharge is collected by SWS and remitted to the City, where it is recorded as revenue in the Landfill /Solid Waste Enterprise Fund as Closure and Post - Closure Reserve; and
12. Committing the Surcharge at its current level or any future level approved by the City Council will stabilize the Landfill /Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, provide a dedicated source of revenue to comply with the City' s Closure and Post - Closure Maintenance costs, and the establishment and replenishment of the Cap Reserve; and
13. The combination of the disposal site proprietary fund, Transfer Station Rent, and the Surcharge will provide adequate funding for City' s Closure and Post - Closure Maintenance costs, and the establishment and replenishment of the Cap Reserve, provided however, that an increase in the Surcharge may be necessary once the final Closure costs and the method of financing the City' s obligations is determined;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Ukiah as follows:
1. Transfer Station Rent is hereby committed to any unfunded Closure costs, Post - Closure Maintenance costs, and the establishment and replenishment of the CAP reserve.
2. There is hereby established a Transfer Station Rents Special Revenue Fund ( Special Revenue Fund) for all Transfer Station Rent revenue which fund is established and dedicated to pay for any Closure costs, Post - Closure Maintenance costs, and the establishment and replenishment of the CAP reserve.
3. Revenue recorded in the Special Reserve Fund shall be given first preference over other revenue sources, other than grants, in funding Closure and Post - Closure Maintenance expenses and CAP reserve requirements that are not funded by the disposal site proprietary fund.
4. Any Closure and Post - Closure Maintenance expenses and CAP reserve requirements not funded by grants, the disposal site proprietary fund, and the Special Revenue Fund shall be funded by the Surcharge.
5. The City Finance Director is hereby directed to prepare for City Council the approval a Financial Plan ( Plan) to extinguish in fifteen years the estimated unfunded Closure and thirty - year Post - Closure Maintenance costs, and the CAP reserve requirements, and present the Surcharge to be applied to the Transfer Station Gate Fee commencing on January 1, 2017. The revised Surcharge shall be submitted to the City Council for approval no later than October 2016. Thereafter, in September of each year, the City Finance Director shall prepare an update of the Plan to fund Closure, Post - Closure Maintenance, and CAP requirements. Any recommended increase or decrease in the Surcharge resulting from the annual update of the Plan shall be presented to the City Council for approval in October, and if approved, will be applied to the Transfer Station Gate Fee immediately following January 1st. 2 1

Summary: Council will consider approving a second contract amendment with GHD Inc. for professional engineering services for a future water storage tank siting study and analysis, in the amount of $20,000.
Background: On August 27, 2020, GHD Engineers, Inc began professional engineering services for a siting study for a water storage tank. (Attachment 1). Design work was added to the original agreement for the additional study of two possible tank sites including access, tank water supply and interconnection with existing City utilities (Attachment 2).
Discussion: GHD Inc. performed an initial desktop GIS analysis of potential tank sites which was followed by a detailed planning study that investigated tank types, siting, sizing and hydraulic analysis.
This additional study will look in greater detail at the siting of proposed 1.5 million gallon storage tanks at Site 1 as well as more detail of system operations with higher or lower tanks and, if it is possible, a tank could be sited to match the pressure already existing in Zone 1, eliminating the need for the installation of a booster pump station (Attachment 3).
This second amendment will bring the contract to a not-to-exceed amount of $42,123.89.
Recommended Action: Approve a second contract amendment with GHD Inc. for professional engineering services for a future water storage tank siting study and analysis, in the amount of $20,000.

RE: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services: Siting and Analysis of Water Storage, Pumping and Transmission System
Dear Mr. Eriksen:
GHD is pleased to provide this proposal for professional engineering services for the siting and analysis of new water storage tanks, including mains and the need for pumping systems in areas south and west of the City limits. The purpose of the project is to provide municipal water service to proposed future residential developments and to augment existing water storage for the City. The City is working with a developer of an area in the hills west of the City limits, and the development of the property requires water storage infrastructure. The City would also like to augment its existing storage to increase fire protection and to provide operational flexibility with the other tanks in the system.
Background
GHD performed an initial desktop GIS analysis of a storage system, potential tank sites and service area pressures, and summarized the results in a technical memorandum dated September 18, 2020. This memorandum was followed by a detailed planning study that investigated tank types, tank siting, tank sizing and hydraulic analysis of four potential sites as well as interconnections with the City’s existing distribution system. The purpose of the second study was to provide technical information and planning level costs so the City can make informed decisions regarding the design and construction of one or more new water storage tanks. The results of the study were summarized in a technical memorandum dated December 20, 2020.
This current study will look in greater detail at the siting of proposed 1.5 million gallon (MG) storage tanks located at Site 1. The elevation of Site 1 is higher than the City’s other water tanks, and the City would like to look in greater detail at system operations with higher tanks, and whether there is a feasible site at a lower elevation where the tanks could be sited so they can “float” with the City’s other tanks in the Zone 1 pressure zone, thereby eliminating the need for one or more booster pump stations and pressure reducing stations.

11217088 | RE: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services: Siting and Analysis of Water Storage, Pumping and Transmission System 2 Scope of Services
The Scope of Services proposed is to perform an update of the siting and hydraulic analysis summarized in a technical memorandum dated December 20, 2020, with specific focus on the tanks to be located at Site 1, and to determine whether there are any other feasible sites at a lower elevation.
The purpose of this task is to develop alternatives for storage, water main alignments, interconnections between the proposed tanks and City water system, and establish the design basis referencing the analysis results and recommendations developed in Technical Memorandum No. 2 for the Water Tank Planning.
A draft basis of design (BOD) report will be prepared to confirm the design concept, summarize the design criteria, and investigate alternatives for interconnecting the tanks with the City’s existing water system and existing Zone 1 tanks, updated hydraulic analysis for the system, determine the need for booster pumps, and capture the recommendations and City input. GHD will assess the design criteria and City’s requirements, including applicable standards, and other recommendations. GHD will prepare a draft BOD report including the tank siting and analysis results including requirements and recommendations for the following:
– Siting options and recommended Site 1 tank siting
– Need for booster pump station at the west end of Redwood Avenue – Redwood Avenue water main replacement
– Water tank interconnections
– Connection alternatives to the City’s water system
– Need for Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) and Check Valves (CVs) – Updated hydraulic analysis
The draft BOD report will include a recommended project and will be submitted to the City comments. The report will be updated to address comments and incorporate more detailed design information during the design phase of the project.
Fee Proposal
Our understanding is that the contract mechanism will be through an amendment to the existing Professional Service Agreement for this project. GHD proposes to complete the Scope of Services for the time-andmaterials fee not to exceed $20,000.00 without the prior written authorization of the City. Services not included in this proposal can be provided by a negotiated fee at current rates.
We welcome the opportunity to continue working with the City of Ukiah on this important project and look forward to contributing to its success. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully Submitted,

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Report of the Acquisition of Two Diesel-Powered Emergency Intertie Pumps From Pac Machine Co. in the Amount of $294,083.25, and Approve Corresponding Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Water Resources PREPARED BY: Seth Strader, Administrative Analyst, Sean White, Water Resources Director

Summary: Council will receive a report of the acquisition of two diesel-powered emergency intertie pumps from Pac Machine Co. in the amount of $294,083.25, and approve the corresponding budget amendment.
Background: On December 15, 2021, Council authorized the City Manager or designee (Attachment 1) to pursue grant funding for the purchase of two mobile, trailer-mounted pumps that can be used to connect the existing City tanks to both the Millview Water and Willow Water systems. These would allow the different water districts to be able to share water with each other to meet the needs of their customers in an emergency drought situation or if water utilities are lost or shutoff due to a wildfire. The City of Ukiah was successful, and the grant was awarded.
Discussion: Water Staff independently placed the order for the pumps with Pac Machine Co. in the amount of $294,038.25. The two pumps arrived in late summer of 2022 and were tested by a combination of City, Millview and Willow Water Staff to test that the machines and systems were ready if needed in an emergency.
Please see Attachment 2 for a copy of the confirming Purchase Order 40111 based on the invoice received from Pac Machine Co. The grant funds received by the City covered $264,600.00, but did not cover the additional expense of freight and tax. The Water fund will be covering the remaining $29,438.25 of the purchase.
Since this was not formally budgeted, Staff requests a budget amendment of $294,083.25 to be approved, as well as amending the budget in the offsetting grant revenue account in the amount of $264,600.
Recommended Action: Council will receive a report of the acquisition of two diesel-powered emergency intertie pumps from Pac Machine Co. in the amount of $294,083.25, and consider approving a corresponding budget amendment.

In awarding the contract the City relies on the contractor’s representation that its bid anticipates differing site conditions and the additional time or cost that such conditions may necessitate.

2. Contractor shall comply with the California Labor Code Section 1775. In accordance with said Section 1775, Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to the Owner, $50.00 (or the higher minimum penalty as provided in Section 1775(B)(ii) – (iii)) for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each workman paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for such work or craft in which such workman is employed for any work done under the Contract by him or her or by any subcontractor under him or her in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code and in particular, Labor Code Sections 1770 to 1780, inclusive.

SECTION 7. RESPONSIBILITIES AND RIGHTS OF CITY
7-01. Authority of the Engineer. All work done under this contract shall be done in a workmanlike manner and shall be performed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Engineer, who shall have general supervision of all work included hereunder. To prevent disputes and litigation, the Engineer (1) shall in all cases determine the amount, quality, acceptability and fitness of the several kinds of work and materials which are to be paid for under this contract, (2) shall decide all questions relative to the true construction, meaning and intent of the Special Provisions and Drawings, (3) shall decide all questions which may arise relative to the classifications and measurements of quantities and materials and the fulfillment of this contract and (4) shall have the power to reject or condemn all work or material which does not conform to the terms of this contract. his or her estimate and decision in all matters shall be a condition precedent to an appeal for arbitration, or the right of the Contractor to receive, demand, or claim any money or other compensation under this agreement and a condition precedent to any liability on the part of the City to the Contractor on account of this contract. Whenever the Engineer shall be unable to act, in consequence of absence or other cause, then such engineer as the Engineer or the City shall designate, shall perform any and all of the duties and be vested with any or all of the powers herein given to the Engineer.
7-02. Inspection. The City will provide engineering personnel for the inspection of the work.
The Engineer and his or her representatives shall at all times have access to the work whenever it is in preparation or progress and the Contractor shall provide proper facilities for such access and inspection.
If the Special Provisions, the Engineer's instruction, laws, ordinances, or any public authority require any work to be specially tested or approved, the Contractor shall give the Engineer timely notice of its readiness for
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 14 Spec. No. 20-09
inspection and, if the inspection is by an authority other than the Engineer, of the date fixed for such inspection.
Inspections by the Engineer shall be promptly made at the source of supply where practicable. If any work shall be covered up without approval or consent of the Engineer, it must, if required by the Engineer, be uncovered for examination and properly restored at the Contractor's expense.
Re-examination of any work may be ordered by the Engineer and, if so ordered, the work must be uncovered by the Contractor. If such work is found to be in accordance with the contract documents, the City shall pay the cost of re-examination and replacement. If such work is not in accordance with the contract documents, the Contractor shall pay such cost.
Properly authorized and accredited inspectors shall be considered to be the representatives of the City limited to the duties and powers entrusted to them. It will be their duty to inspect materials and workmanship of those portions of the work to which they are assigned, either individually or collectively, under instructions of the Engineer and to report any and all deviations from the Drawings, Special Provisions and other contract provisions which may come to their notice. Any inspector may be considered to have the right to order the work entrusted to his or her supervision stopped, if in his or her opinion such action becomes necessary, until the Engineer is notified and has determined and ordered that the work may proceed in due fulfillment of all contract requirements.
7-03. Surveys. Contractor shall furnish all land surveys, establish all base lines and bench marks and make sufficient detailed surveys needed for working points, lines and elevations. The Contractor shall develop all slope stakes and batter boards. Contractor shall also develop all additional working points, lines and elevations as he or she may desire to facilitate his or her methods and sequence of construction. 7-04. Rights-of-Way. The City will provide all necessary rights-of-way and easements in or beneath which work will be performed by the Contractor under this contract. 7-05. Retention of Imperfect Work. If any portion of the work done or material furnished under this contract shall prove defective and not in accordance with the Plans and Special Provisions, and if the imperfection in the same shall not be of sufficient magnitude or importance to make the work dangerous or undesirable, the Engineer shall have the right and authority to retain such work instead of requiring the imperfect work to be removed and reconstructed, but he or she shall make such deductions therefor in the payments due or to become due the Contractor as may be just and reasonable. 7-06. Changes in the Work. The Engineer shall have the right, in writing, to order additions to, omissions from, or corrections, alterations and modifications in the line, grade, form, dimensions, plan, or kind or amount of work or materials herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either before or after the beginning of construction.
However, the arithmetical sum of the cost to the City of additions and subtractions from the work under this contract shall not exceed 10 percent of original contract amount or $5,000, whichever is the greater, unless based upon a supplementary agreement to be made therefore.
The order of such additions, omissions, corrections, alterations and modifications shall be in writing and signed by the Engineer and, in order, shall then be binding upon the Contractor. The Contractor shall proceed with the work as changed and the value of such change shall be determined as provided for in section 10-07 of these Special Provisions.
Such alterations shall in no way affect, vitiate, or make void this contract or any part thereof, except that which is necessarily affected by such alterations and is clearly the evident intention of the parties to this contract. 7-07. Additional Drawings by City. The drawings made a part of this contract at the time of its execution are intended to be fairly comprehensive and to indicate in more or less detail the scope of the work. In addition to these drawings, however, the Engineer shall furnish such additional drawings from time to time during the progress of the work as are necessary to make clear or to define in greater detail the intent of the Special Provisions and the contract drawings and the Contractor shall make his or her work conform to all such drawings. 7-08. Additional and Emergency Protection. Whenever, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor has not taken sufficient precautions for the safety of the public or the protection of the works to be constructed under this contract, or of adjacent structures or property which may be injured by the processes of construction on account of such neglect and whenever, in the opinion of the Engineer, an emergency shall arise and immediate
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 15 Spec. No. 20-09
action shall be considered necessary in order to protect public or private, personal or property interest, then and in that event, the Engineer, with or without notice to the Contractor may provide suitable protection to the said interests by causing such work to be done and such material to be furnished as shall provide such protection as the Engineer may consider necessary and adequate.
The cost and expense of such work and material so furnished shall be borne by the Contractor and, if the same shall not be paid on presentation of the bills therefor, then such costs shall be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Contractor.
The performance of such emergency work under the direction of the Engineer shall in no way relieve the Contractor from any damages which may occur during or after such precaution has been taken by the Engineer. 7-09. Suspension of Work. The City may at any time suspend the work or any part thereof by giving five (5) days written notice to the Contractor. The work shall be resumed by the Contractor within ten (10) days after the date fixed in the written notice from the City to the Contractor so to do. The City shall reimburse the Contractor for expense incurred by the Contractor in connection with the work under this contract as a result of such suspension.
If the work, or any part thereof, shall be stopped by the notice in writing aforesaid and if the City does not give notice in writing to the Contractor to resume work at a date within ten (10) days of the date fixed in the written notice to suspend, then the Contractor may abandon that portion of the work so suspended and he or she will be entitled to the estimates and payments for all work done on the portions so abandoned, if any, plus 5 percent of the value of the work so abandoned, to compensate for loss of overhead, plant expense and anticipated profit. 7-10. Right of City to Terminate Contract. If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he or she should make a general assignment for the benefit of his or her creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of his or her insolvency, or if he or she should persistently or repeatedly refuse or should fail, except in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply sufficient properly skilled workmen or proper materials, or if he or she should fail to make prompt payments to subcontractors or for material or labor, or persistently disregard laws, ordinances or the instructions of the Engineer, or otherwise be guilty of a substantial violation of any provision of the contract, then the City, upon the certificate of the Engineer that sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy and after giving the Contractor seven days written notice, terminate the employment of the Contractor and take possession of the premises and of all materials, tools and appliances and finish the work by whatever method the City may deem expedient. In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price shall exceed the expense of finishing the work, including compensation for additional managerial and administrative services, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense shall exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City. The expense incurred by the City as herein provided and the damage incurred through the Contractor's default, shall be certified by the Engineer.
7-11. Use of Completed Portions. The City shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding the time for completing the entire work or such portions which may not have expired; but such taking possession and using shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the contract documents. If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or extension of time or both, as the Engineer may determine.
SECTION 8. WORKMANSHIP, MATERIALS and EQUIPMENT
8-01. General Quality. Materials and equipment shall be new and of a quality equal to that specified or approved. Work shall be done and completed in a thorough and workmanlike manner. 8-02. Quality in Absence of Detailed Specifications. Whenever under this contract it is provided that the Contractor shall furnish materials or manufactured articles or shall do work for which no detailed specifications are set forth, the materials or manufactured articles shall be of the best grade in quality and workmanship obtainable in the market from firms of established good reputation, or, if not ordinarily carried in stock, shall conform to the usual standards for first-class materials or articles of the kind required, with due consideration of
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 16 Spec. No. 20-09
the use to which they are to be put. In general, the work performed shall be in full conformity and harmony with the intent to secure the best standard of construction and equipment of the work as a whole or in part. 8-03. Materials and Equipment Specified by Name. Whenever any material or equipment is indicated or specified by patent or proprietary name or by the name of the manufacturer, such specification shall be considered as used for the purpose of describing the material or equipment desired and shall be considered as followed by the words "or approved equal". The Contractor may offer any material or equipment which shall be equal in every respect to that specified, provided that written approval first is obtained from the Engineer. 8-04. Source of Materials. Price, fitness and quality being equal, preference shall be given by the Contractor for supplies grown, manufactured or produced in the State of California and, next, for such products partially produced in this State in accordance with Government Code Section 4332. 8-05. Storage of Materials. Materials shall be so stored to ensure the preservation of their quality and fitness for the work. They shall be so located and disposed that prompt and proper inspection thereof may be made. 8-06. Drawings, Samples and Tests. As soon as possible after execution of the contract, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer, in quintuplicate, sufficient information including, if necessary, assembly and detail drawings to demonstrate fully that the equipment and materials to be furnished comply with the provisions and intent of these Special Provisions and Drawings. If the information thus submitted indicates the equipment or materials is acceptable, the Engineer will return one copy stamped with his or her approval; otherwise, one copy will be returned with an explanation of why the equipment or material is unsatisfactory. The Contractor shall have no claims for damages or for extension of time on account of any delay due to the revision of drawings or rejection of material. Fabrication or other work performed in advance of approval shall be done entirely at the Contractor's risk. After approval of equipment or material, the Contractor shall not deviate in any way from the design and specifications given without the written consent of the Engineer.
When requested by the Engineer, a sample or test specimens of the materials to be used or offered for use in connection with the work shall be prepared at the expense of the Contractor and furnished by him or her in such quantities and sizes as may be required for proper examination and tests, with all freight charges prepaid and with information as to their sources.
All samples shall be submitted before shipment and in ample time to permit the making of proper tests, analyses, or examination before the time at which it is desired to incorporate the material into the work. All tests of materials furnished by the Contractor shall be made by the Engineer. Samples shall be secured and tested whenever necessary to determine the quality of the material.
SECTION 9. PROSECUTION OF WORK
9-01. Equipment and Methods. The work under this contract shall be prosecuted with all materials, tools, machinery, apparatus and labor and by such methods as are necessary to the complete execution of everything described, shown, or reasonably implied. If at any time before the beginning or during the progress of the work, any part of the Contractor's plant or equipment, or any of his or her methods of execution of the work, appear to the Engineer to be unsafe, inefficient, or inadequate to insure the required quality or the rate of progress of the work, he or she may order the Contractor to increase or improve his or her facilities or methods and the Contractor shall comply promptly with such orders; but, neither compliance with such orders nor failure of the Engineer to issue such orders shall relieve the Contractor from his or her obligation to secure the degree of safety, the quality of the work and the rate of progress required of the Contractor. The Contractor alone shall be responsible for the safety, adequacy and efficiency of his or her plant, equipment and methods. 9-02. Time of Completion. The Contractor shall promptly begin the work under this contract and shall complete and make ready for full use all portions of the project made the subject of this contract within the time set forth in the agreement bound herewith.
9-03. Avoidable Delays. Avoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work shall include all delays which might have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence on the part of the Contractor. The City will consider as avoidable delays within the meaning of this contract (1) delays in the prosecution of parts of the work, which may in themselves be unavoidable, but do not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work nor the completion of the whole work within the time herein
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 17 Spec. No. 20-09
specified, (2) reasonable loss of time resulting from the necessity of submitting plans to the Engineer for approval and from the making of surveys, measurements, inspections, and testing and (3) such interruptions as may occur in the prosecution of the work on account of the reasonable interference of other contractors employed by the City which do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified. 9-04. Unavoidable Delays. Unavoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work under this contract shall include all delays which may result, through cause beyond the control of the Contractor and which he or she could not have provided against by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence. Orders issued by the City changing the amount of work to be done, the quantity of material to be furnished or the manner in which the work is to be prosecuted and unforeseen delays in the completion of the work of other contractors under contract with the City will be considered unavoidable delays, so far as they necessarily interfere with the Contractor's completion of the whole of the work. Delays due to normally adverse weather conditions will not be regarded as unavoidable delays. However, truly abnormal amounts of rainfall, temperatures or other weather conditions for the location of the work and time of year may be considered as unavoidable delays if those conditions necessarily cause a delay in the completion of the work. 9-05. Notice of Delays. Whenever the Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the work and, in any event, immediately upon the occurrence of any delay which the contractor regards as an unavoidable delay, he or she shall notify the Engineer in writing of the probability of the occurrence of such delay and its cause, in order that the Engineer may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuance of the delay, or, if this cannot be done, may determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it continues and to what extent the prosecution and completion of the work are to be delayed thereby. 9-06. Extension of Time. Should any delays occur which the Engineer may consider unavoidable, as herein defined, the Contractor shall, pursuant to his or her application, be allowed an extension of time proportional to said delay or delays, beyond the time herein set forth, in which to complete this contract; and liquidated damages for delay shall not be charged against the Contractor by the City during an extension of time granted because of unavoidable delay or delays.
Any claim by Contractor for a time extension based on unavoidable delays shall be based on written notice delivered to the Engineer within 15 days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. Failure to file said written notice within the time specified shall constitute a waiver of said claim. Notice of the full extent of the claim and all supporting data must be delivered to the Engineer within 45 days of the occurrence unless the Engineer specifies in writing a longer period. All claims for a time extension must be approved by the Engineer and incorporated into a written change order.
9-07. Unfavorable Weather and Other Conditions. During unfavorable weather and other conditions, the Contractor shall pursue only such portions of the work as shall not be damaged thereby. No portions of the work whose satisfactory quality or efficiency will be affected by any unfavorable conditions shall be constructed while these conditions remain, unless, by special means or precautions approved by the Engineer, the Contractor shall be able to overcome them.
The Contractor shall be granted a time extension of one day for each unfavorable weather day which prevents him or her from placing concrete forms or placing and finishing concrete or asphalt concrete. Such unfavorable weather day is defined as a rain day where precipitation prevents the contractor from performing the work more than four (4) continuous hours within the authorized work period or a temperature day where the ambient temperature is below that specified for the placement of materials associated with the controlling work item for more than four (4) continuous work hours of the authorized work period. 9-08. Saturday, Sunday, Holiday and Night Work. No work shall be done between the hours of 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., nor on Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays except such work as is necessary for the proper care and protection of work already performed, or except in cases of absolute necessity and in any case only with the permission of the Engineer.
It is understood, however, that night work may be established as a regular procedure by the Contractor if he or she first obtains the written permission of the Engineer and that such permission may be revoked at any time by the Engineer if the Contractor fails to maintain at night adequate force and equipment for reasonable prosecution and to justify inspection of the work.
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 18 Spec. No. 20-09
9-09. Hours of Labor. Eight (8) hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work and the Contractor or any subcontractor shall not require or permit more than eight hours of labor in a day from any person employed by him or her in the performance of the work under this contract, unless paying compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less than 1½ times the basic rate of pay. The Contractor shall forfeit to the City, as a penalty, the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each workman employed in the execution of the contract by him or her or by any subcontractor, for each calendar day during which such laborer, workman, or mechanic is required or permitted to labor more than eight hours in violation of the provisions of Section 1810 to 1816, inclusive, (Article 3, Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2) of the Labor Code of the State of California and any acts amendatory thereof.
SECTION 10. PAYMENT
10-01. Certification by Engineer. All payments under this contract shall be made upon the presentation of certificates in writing from the Engineer and shall show that the work covered by the payments has been done and the payments thereof are due in accordance with this contract. 10-02. Progress Estimates and Payment. The Engineer shall, within the first seven (7) days of each month, make an estimate of the value of the work performed in accordance with this contract during the previous calendar month.
The first estimate shall be of the value of the work satisfactorily completed in place and meeting the requirements of the contract. And every subsequent estimate, except the final estimate, shall be of the value of the work satisfactorily completed in place since the last preceding estimate was made; provided, however, that should the Contractor fail to adhere to the program of completion fixed in this contract, the Engineer shall deduct from the next and all subsequent estimates the full calculated accruing amount of the liquidated damages to the date of said estimate, until such time as the compliance with the program has been restored.
The estimate shall be signed by the Engineer and, after approval, the City shall pay or cause to be paid to the Contractor in the manner provided by law, an amount equal to 95 percent of the estimated value of the work satisfactorily performed and complete in place.

The market value of the securities deposited shall at all times be maintained in an amount at least equal, in the sole judgment of City, to the moneys to be withheld pursuant to the Contract Documents to ensure performance of the Contract. In order to comply with this condition, Contractor shall deposit additional securities as necessary upon request by City or the escrow agent.
3. Upon acceptance of any Proposal that includes substituting securities for amounts withheld to ensure performance, a separate escrow agreement satisfactory in form and substance to City shall be prepared and executed by City, the Contractor and the escrow agent, which may be City. The escrow agreement shall specify, among other matters, value of securities to be deposited; procedures for valuing the securities and for adding or withdrawing securities to maintain the market value of the deposited securities at least equal to the amount of moneys which would otherwise be withheld; the terms and conditions of conversion to cash in case of the default by the Contractor; and terms, conditions and procedure for termination of the escrow. City shall have no obligation to enter any such Agreement that does not provide the City with the unilateral right to convert securities to cash and to gain immediate possession of the cash.
10-04. Acceptance. The work must be accepted by vote of the City Council of the City of Ukiah when the whole shall have been completed satisfactorily. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, of the completion of the work, whereupon the Engineer shall promptly, by personal inspection, satisfy himself as to the actual completion of the work in accordance with the terms of the contract and shall thereupon recommend acceptance by the City Council.
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 20 Spec. No. 20-09
10-05. Final Estimate and Payment. The Engineer shall, as soon as practicable after the final acceptance of the work done under this contract, make a final estimate of the amount of work done thereunder and the value thereof.
Such final estimate shall be signed by the Engineer, and after approval, the City shall pay or cause to be paid to the Contractor, in the manner provided by law, the entire sum so found to be due hereunder, after deducting therefrom all previous payments and such other lawful amounts as the terms of this contract prescribe.
In no case will final payment be made in less than thirty-five (35) days after the filing of the notice of completion with the County Recorder.
10-06. Delay Payments. Should any payment due the Contractor or any estimate be delayed, through fault of the City beyond the time stipulated, such delay shall not constitute a breach of contract or be the basis for a claim for damages, but the City shall pay the Contractor interest on the amount of the payment at the rate of 6 percent per annum for the period of such delay. The terms for which interest will be paid shall be reckoned, in the case of any monthly or progress payment, from the twentieth day of the month next succeeding the month in which the work was performed to the date of payment of the estimate; and in the case of the final estimate, from the forty-fifth day after acceptance to the date of payment of the final estimate.
The date of payment of any estimate shall be considered the day on which the payment is offered or mailed as evidenced by the records of the Treasurer of the City. If interest shall become due on any delayed payment, the amount thereof, as determined by the City, shall be added to a succeeding payment. If the interest shall become due on the final payment, it shall be paid on a supplementary voucher to interest or any sum or sums which, by the terms of this contract, the City is authorized to reserve or retain. 10-07. Extra Work and Work Omitted. Whenever corrections, alterations, or modifications of the work under this contract ordered by the Engineer and approved by the City increase the amount of work to be done, such added work shall be known as "extra work"; and when such corrections, alterations, or modifications decrease the amount of work to be done, such subtracted work shall be known as "work omitted".
When the Contractor considers that any changes ordered involve extra work, he or she shall immediately notify the Engineer in writing and subsequently keep him or her informed as to when and where extra work is to be performed and shall make claim for compensation therefor each month not later than the first day of the month following that in which the work claimed to be extra work was performed and he or she shall submit a daily complete statement of materials and labor used and expenses incurred on account of extra work performed, showing allocation of all materials, labor and expenses.
All such claims shall state the date of the Engineer's written order and the date of approval by the City authorizing the work on account of which claim is made. Unless such notification is made in writing within the time specified and unless complete statements of materials used and expenses incurred on account of such extra work are furnished as above required, the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment on account of extra work and Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the right to make any future claims for compensation for such extra work.
When changes decrease the amount of work to be done, they shall not constitute a claim for damages on account of anticipated profits on the work that may be omitted. 10-08. Compensation for Extra Work or Work Omitted. Whenever corrections, additions, or modifications in the work under this contract change the amount of work to be done or the amount of compensation due the Contractor, excepting increases or decreases in contract items having unit contract prices for each measurable quantity installed in place, and such changes have been ordered in writing by the Engineer and approved by the City prior to the Contractor performing the extra work, then a price may be agreed upon. Failing such an agreement in price, the Contractor shall be compensated for performing extra work pursuant to the provisions of Section 4-1.03 D,"Extra Work", and Section 9-1.03,"Force Account Payment" of the Standard Specifications.
This method of determining the price of work shall not apply to the performance of any work which is required or reasonably implied to be performed or furnished under this contract.
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 21 Spec. No. 20-09
10-09. Compensation to the City for Extension of Time. In case the work called for under this contract is not completed within the time limit stipulated herein, the City shall have the right as provided hereinabove, to extend the time of completion thereof. If the time limit be so extended, the City shall have the right to charge to the Contractor and to deduct from the final payment for the work the actual cost to the City of engineering, inspection, superintendence and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the contract and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of final unavoidable delays shall not be included in such charges.
10-10. Liquidated Damages for Delay. It is agreed by the parties to the contract that time is of the essence and that, in case all the work is not completed before or upon the expiration of the time limit as set forth, damage, other than those cost items identified in section 10-09, will be sustained by the City and that it is and will be impracticable to determine the actual amount of damage by reason of such delay; and it is therefore agreed that the Contractor will pay to the City the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per day for each and every calendar day's delay beyond the time prescribed.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS
11-01. Notice. Whenever any provision of the contract documents requires the giving of written notice, it shall be deemed to have been validly given if delivered in person to the individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for whom it is intended, or if delivered at or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the last business address known to the giver of the notice. If mailed, the notice shall be deemed received on the date of delivery stated in the return receipt. 11-02. Computation of Time. When any period of time is referred to in the Contract Documents by days, it shall be computed to exclude the first and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day shall be omitted from the computation.
11-03. Claims Procedure Required by Public Contract Code Section 9204. This section shall apply to any claim by the Contractor arising in connection with this project in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 9204.
a, For purposes of this section "Claim" means a separate demand by the Contractor sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested, for one or more of the following:
(A) A time extension, including, without limitation, for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by the City under this contract.
(B) Payment by the City of money or damages arising from work done by, or on behalf of, the Contractor pursuant to this contract and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the Contractor is not otherwise entitled.
(C) Payment of an amount that is disputed by the City.
b.
(1)
(A) Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, the City shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity and the contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this subdivision. (B) The Contractor shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. (C) If the City needs approval from its governing body to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 22 Spec. No. 20-09
by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. If the City fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply.
(2)
(A) If the Contractor disputes the City's written response, or if the City fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. (B) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section. (C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City and the Contractor, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. (3) Failure by the City to respond to a claim from the Contractor within the time periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity's failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the Contractor. (4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the Contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the Contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the Contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the Contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so. c. A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly
COUNCIL CHAMBER AV REPLACEMENT 23 Spec. No. 20-09
to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) the City may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
11-04. Litigation and Forum Selection. Contractor and City stipulate and agree that any litigation relating to the enforcement or interpretation of this contract, arising out of Contractor's performance or relating in any way to the work shall be brought in Mendocino County and that venue will lie in Mendocino County.
Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the parties waive any objections they might otherwise have to the propriety of jurisdiction or venue in the state courts in Mendocino County and agree that California law shall govern any such litigation.
The duties and obligations imposed by these General Conditions and the rights and remedies available hereunder to the parties hereto and, in particular but without limitation, the warranties, guaranties and obligations imposed upon the Contractor and all of the rights and remedies available to the City thereunder, shall be in addition to and shall not be construed in any way as a limitation of, any rights and remedies available to any or all of them which are otherwise imposed or available by law or contract, by special warranty or guaranty, or by other provisions of the contract documents and the provisions of this paragraph shall be as effective as if repeated specifically in the contract documents in connection with each particular duty, obligation, right and remedy to which they apply. All warranties and guaranties made in the contract document shall survive final payment and termination or completion of this contract. The City disclaims an express or implied warranty that the plans and specifications identify all site conditions that could affect the time or cost to complete the Work. 11-05. Waiver. The Contractor shall strictly comply with all notices and other contract requirements. Waiver by the City of any failure of the Contractor to comply with any term of the contract, including the notice provisions, shall not be deemed a waiver of a subsequent breach.
